I'm starting a campaign that goes from level 1 to 30. I was going to play a binder but for many reason I ended up wanting to play a Totemist. My party has a sorcerer (white dragonspawn loredrake kobold,etc),a spirit shaman, a warblade and a swordsage.
Thing is I never played one before and even after reading the handbook I'm somewhat lost in how to make a powerful Totemist that can stay competitive in melee all through the 30 levels, oh and I have access to all 3.5 books and the dragon magazine.
For the race I was thinking either:
-Feral artic half-minotaur water orc
-Artic dragonborn half-minotaur mineral warrior incarnate construc warforged (I read about using half-ogre instead of mineral warrior but I wouldn't know to make sense of if in the RP sense on top of everything else).
Other good race combos could be great too, I like the idea of getting more natural weapons from my race.
I really want to play it with tons of natural attacks, also if there's a way to get my Totemist to huge size it would really help I think.
For PrC I'm not sure if Totemist 2/Lion-totem Barbarian/Totemist X, Totemist 2/Lion-totem Barbarian/Totem Rager 10/ Totemist X or another build would be better. I'm not sure if there are some dips (like warrior, warblade, etc) that may work or another PrC. Also for example I read that landshark boots are great but I know very little about chargers so I'm not sure why its that good, something like Bloodtalons or Girallon Arms seem better.
As for feats (I have 2 flaws) I know I probably want:
-Double Chakra,Expanded Soulmeld Capacity, Multiattack
Maybe want:
-Open Chakra (Any) (not sure in what slot), Cobalt Charge, Cobalt Rage, Improved Multiattack , Rapidstrike/Improved Rapidstrike
As for other feats, if I have tons of natural weaps of the same kind maybe Improved Natural Weapon?.
Soulmelds:Bloodtalons,Girallon Arms,Rageclaws,Displacer Mantle,Phase Cloak and Manticore Belt seem to be the best in my eyes, but this is only from reading.
As for items (not sure what are the best and what would be the best order to try to get them) but the ones I've really like are:
-Fanged Ring
-Necklace of Natural Weapons (with X enchantment)
-Amulet of Mighty Fists
-Jaws of the Dragon (If I end up playing something like a Warforged with Jaws of Death feat or something like that).
-Bands of Blood Rage
All help is appreciated :smallsmile:
